Ah...back to the warm weather

This looks like the weekend we've been waiting for. Fair and warm weather sticks around for now and into the extended forecast too.

This looks like the weekend we've been waiting for. Fair and warm weather sticks around for now and into the extended forecast too.

Have you been itching to get outside and enjoy life without having to put on boots or cover every exposed bit of skin from the cold? Well, you're not alone and thankfully for all of us, it looks like this weekend will provide exactly what we've all been waiting for...a well-deserved break from winter!

So how about we tune into the mid 50s for the highs on Saturday, huh? Not too shabby. Now the winds will kick up out of the south to some degree by this afternoon and could gust into the 20-30 MPH range, leading to some limited fire danger. But besides that, it looks "A-OK" under partly to mostly sunny skies.

Sunday brings another round of warm weather, but we'll take it up a notch. Try the low to mid 60s by the afternoon. We'll continue to stay dry and see another partly to mostly sunny day.

And that warmer trend holds us throughout the extended forecast too. Highs will continue to range in the low to mid 60s for everyone (and may even pop up to the 70 degree mark for the River Valley for Tuesday and Wednesday). Slight chances for light rain come into play Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday, but besides that, we look all dry.

There's no telling right now if winter will get its act back together and strike back (that's not encouragement for it to do so, just reality), so get out there and enjoy it while you can.
